Robert Graves' particular take on classical mythology has long been discredited by classicists. Morford and Lenardon's Classical Mythology is the classic textbook (it's readable). Graves' myths are a decent compendium but his analyses are flawed.
Mary Renault's novels based on the myths surrounding Theseus are excellent (The King Must Die and The Bull From The Sea), sadly they are not available in retail ebook.
